Pemberton Christian Fellowship has a diverse and storied history. In May 1974, Les Zimmerman and his family moved to Pemberton, British Columbia (BC) through the sponsorship of the Regular Baptists of Squamish, BC. Tom and Gale Mitchell joined them in their efforts the following month. After two years of service, the Zimmermans moved to Whistler, BC, leaving Tom to continue in the work already underway in Pemberton.

Through the sponsorship of the Open Brethren, Gary McLeod and his family moved to Pemberton in 1976. The resulting youth program flourished, but as the two existing groups of believers in Pemberton were small in size, Gary and Tom decided to combine their efforts. Unfortunately, turmoil and instability followed. The McLeod family also ended up moving to Whistler, allowing Tom to once again continue the ministry alone.

In 1982, Nick Dyck, of the British Columbia Conference of Mennonite Brethren ChurchesBoard of Church Extension came to assist the congregation during its struggles; the resulting denominational variety intrinsic to the congregation's past created tension and stress. In May of this same year, Art and Leona Martens traveled from Surrey, BC to Pemberton on the weekends to lead the congregation. In 1983 the congregation organized under the support of the British Columbia Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches and the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches.

In September 1985, Henry Thiessen was called as the new Mennonite Brethren congregation's first pastor. His background in twenty-four years of interdenominational missions allowed for the required sensitivity to the diversity of believers in the congregation.

In 2010 the congregation's membership was 60 and the average weekly attendance was 80.
